Respectfully dude, you need to get some additional perspective. I have family members actively starving under capitalism through no fault of their own. I’ve watched friends and acquaintances have to decide between paying rent and eating because the wage they are legally making at their full time job (sometimes 2) is not livable.
Even I make what 3 years ago was considered a VERY well off salary and while I’m not at the point of starving, the ever-increasing cost of living has seen the value of my salary literally halve, while helping these family members eat because I’m still privileged enough to do so and if I don’t they will starve. All this while the richest among us have added over $20T to their net wealth in the same time frame.
Your comment is so tone deaf I have to believe you’re either so privileged and well off you don’t actually know what it’s like, or you’re specifically here to try and discredit this opinion, or you’re just being very confidently incorrect.
Capitalism is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: transferring all the wealth to the top.
